The RetroLounge Daily Poem Thread (Fri 8/15/2008) (Strong Language Warning)
Carrots

Carrots are fucking
the earth. A permanent
erection , they push deeper
into the damp and dark.
All summer long
they try so hard to please.
Was it food for you,
Was it good?

Perhaps because the earth won’t answer
they keep on trying.
While you stroll through the garden
thinking carrot cake,
carrots and onions in beef stew,
carrot pudding with caramel sauce,
they are fucking their brains out
in the hottest part of the afternoon.

Lorna Crozier

2. I was told I'd go blind
Mother Nature is perfect!
She put beta-carotene in carrots to fight off loss of vision :D
Cool poem
